ABSTRACT:
In an endoscope with a camera objective, in particular a video camera objective, coupled to the eyepiece cup of the endoscope at its proximal end, the objective is mounted so that it is free to rotate on the proximal end of the eyepiece cup. The camera objective and its camera head have a center of gravity which is offset from the axis of rotation of the objective so that the objective maintains its orientation if the endoscope is rotated about its longitudinal axis, whereby such rotation of the endoscope does not affect the endoscopic picture displayed on a monitor of the video camera.
